Glasses free 3D TVs in about ten years , I guess thats when I'm buying a 3DTV.

That playstation 3DTV they showed at E3 was pretty cool. If I had a PS3 and if my second TV crapped out I would consider it. Shame that I have this stand with bars on the top shelf so I am size constrained.

Oh BTW I tested to see if DS games looked better on 3DS after the firmware update and the answer is no.

Iga, would the relatively limited install base of the Motion+ limit the sales of Skyward Sword? (Relative to the install base of Wii)?

I think you said there were 10 million of them in the wild, and that was a couple of months ago.

Who cares Wii is one its last legs anyways.

About Wii motion plus. Wii Sport Resort has WM+ included, then if you buy black wiimote, wm+ is included. There are Tiger Woods, Red Steel 2 & Grand Slam Tennis with WM+ bundles. The wii bundle with Wii Sport Resorts has WM+. Then there are Wiimote plus that have WM+ build in. You can get one with flingsmash and Wiimotion Party. You can buy them seperately now and all the new Wii bundles come with Wiimote plus included. So that is alot WM+ capable controllers. And Zelda will probably have either a WM+ bundle or golden Wiimote plus bundle.

Long story short, there are a lot wm+ capable controllers in the wild.

Majora's Mask required the N64 expansion pack and it still sold 3 million world wide. Those things were a lot rarer than wm+.

Not so keen on the Arkham City cover.  Batman looks ... chubby

Wii U GPU Capable of Graphics for More Than One Controller


Japanese website Game Watch also speculates that the GPU will support Shader Model 4.1 and has a lot in common with the Radeon HD 4000 line of graphic cards.


The Wii U graphics processing unit (GPU), provided by AMD, includes two different output modes, one of which can support generating graphics for the screens on two or more Wii U controllers, according to Game Watch.


Nintendo showed off the Wii U displaying HD graphics on a television screen while wirelessly streaming "SD output" to the screen on the new wireless Wii U controller. But Game Watch's sources report that AMD's GPU design supports a second output mode for the console's GPU which supports not just the HD console output but four "SD images". This undemonstrated functionality could potentially generate graphics for more than one Wii U controller. However, Game Watch states that this second unrevealed output mode is not currently being utilized due to cost concerns.


AMD previously claimed "multiple display support" as a feature of the Wii U GPU. In fact, the "Eyefinity" technology AMD already has in some of their PC graphics cards supports graphical output to anywhere from three to six wired monitors. However, the wireless Wii U controller won't be physically connected to the graphics card, making support for multiple Wii U controllers a larger issue than just the GPU's capabilities.


Game Watch also reports that the Wii U's GPU is based on the AMD Radeon HD 4000 family line of products, which are designed around the RV770 foundation chip. This family of AMD processors saw commercial release in the PC market in 2008 and 2009. The GPU that AMD supplied for the XBox 360 has similarities to the Radeon HD 2000 line of computer graphics cards.


Assuming that none of the Radeon HD 4000 functionality was removed from the custom Wii U chip, the Wii U GPU may support Shader Model 4.1. In comparison, the XBox 360 and PS3 capabilities are at the Shader Model 3.0 level. AMD currently manufactures the Radeon HD 6000 line, featuring Shader Model 5.0.

The Wii U GPU could feature integrated Hardware tessellation that will help it smooth out rough edges on 3D models. Game Watch noted the sharp polygon edges in Nintendo's "Japanese Garden Demo" and therefore doubted the use of a tessellation stage in the tech demo.


While there is plenty of speculation on the features that the Wii U graphics chip might have, AMD has not yet released information on the GPU's clock speed, number of shader units, memory bandwidth, and other specs. These details, and other as-of-yet unknown customizations to the Wii U GPU, are also important factors in the GPU's overall performance.

That's what I was thinking as well.

With all that recent talk of Epic's Samaritan demo being too good to even be the next generation benchmark, and how we'd have to wait for a generation more to achieve it, do people really think we're so far behind? ..

I don't think we are that behind at all.  For 4 years now we've had this talk about how there isn't anywhere to go with improving graphics for the next gen and then games come along like Witcher 2, Crysis 2 and the faces in LA Noire.  The PC seems to be finally taking another step forward and it will take the next gen of consoles with it.

So awesome last night, the Bruins finally Stanley Cup Champs in my lifetime! It almost didn't feel real, just like when the Red Sox won it all in 2004. Good times.
